Adding content to dashboards
You can add content to a dashboard in two ways:
- From a content connection. A content connection accesses an Application Studio report catalog. Content connections are listed in the toolbar.
- Through a WebView. A WebView displays content from a URL that you specify. You add WebViews from the Toolbox in the toolbar.
To access content that has been added or updated while you have been logged on, click
in the content connection.How you add the content determines whether the content is displayed on the dashboard or full-screen:
- To add content to the dashboard, drag the content, or drag from the Toolbox.
- To display it full-screen, click the content, or click in the Toolbox.
You can add multiple content widgets and arrange them to form a dashboard.
If you add content full-screen you can resize it or push additional content next to it by clicking
to enable edit mode.See: Layout concepts.
When you add content to a dashboard:
- The dashboard is unlocked for editing.
- The borders of current widgets are highlighted.
- Content controls for each widget are displayed when you move the mouse pointer over the widget.
